We are famous for currying anything - beef, chicken, goat, even mangoes! Well, Jamaican seafood distributor B&D Trawling, through its Sea Best brand, is encouraging you to try curried conch. Seafood in general is very easy to prepare as cooking time is usually very short. Seafood is also packed with minerals and vitamins necessary for a healthy body and lifetysle.

Today, we present Curried Sea Best Conch recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

n 2lb Sea Best conch, cleaned

n 2 stalks scallion, chopped

n 2 springs thyme

n 2 cloves garlic, minced

n 1 small onion, finely chopped

n 1/2 medium sweet pepper, finely chopped

n 1 tablespoon curry

n 1 tablespoon butter

n 1 tablespoon oil

n salt and pepper (Scotch bonnet pepper) to taste

METHOD:

Step 1: Scald the conch in saucepan with water for about five minutes. (This is done by boiling meat for about five minutes to make it easier to handle. It is usually a bit slimy, so by scalding it, the slime comes off.)

Step 2: Remove from saucepan and cut in small pieces, then rinse in a saucepan with fresh water.
